Here, I summarize my first year of trying to repair a few log houses with absolutely no prior experience. Some things went well, others not so much. It was filmed in Sweden during a summer.

I have never renovated a log house before-well, except for one time… but that house ended up toppling over with my jacks, a devastating disaster for me. Now, I'm taking on the challenge of repairing yet another one of my log houses. Believe me, if I could afford it, I would have hired someone to do the job. But since I lack the money for that, I had no choice but to do it myself. Here’s a sligh...

In this video, I repair a rotten wall in a log cabin in Sweden. I use mechanical jacks, a Log Wizard, and a chainsaw. In Sweden, these houses are called Timmehus, and when I don't completely replace the logs, the repairs are called " halvsulning "

In this video, we replace some logs in a 200-year-old log cabin. It’s heavy work, but I expect it to last another 100 years. If you plan to do this yourself, please be careful, especially when lifting a house.
